Posted for the sake of retrospection. Two things:

1. He was arrested at gunpoint for having an opinion contrary to the State.
2. Note his topic: "...the secret negotiations between Adolf Eichmann and the Jewish leaders in Budapest, Joel Brand and Rezsö Kasztner, the so-called "trucks for Jews" deal, and British knowledge of the scheme from codebreaking."

THE historian David Irving has been arrested at gunpoint while on a one-day visit to Vienna. An expert on Hitler's Third Reich, he had been invited by courageous students to address an ancient University association in the Austrian capital.

He chose as his subject the secret negotiations between Adolf Eichmann and the Jewish leaders in Budapest, Joel Brand and Rezsö Kasztner, the so-called "trucks for Jews" deal, and British knowledge of the scheme from codebreaking. He has researched the topic extensively in Allied archives for both his Churchill and his Himmler biographies.

Despite precautions, the Austrian political police are believed to have learned of the visit by wiretaps or intercepting e-mails.

It is now known that the trial will be held before an 8-man jury and three judges (President : Dr Peter Liebetreu) on February 20 (9am) at the Large Criminal Court, Vienna, Wichenburg gasse 22. Mr Irving has been charged under section 3g of the Verbotsgesetz, Austria's equivalent of Germany's law for the suppression of free speech. This unique law provides for sentences of 1-20 years. Mr Irving is accused of having expressed an illegal opinion during two lectures in Austria in November 1989, 16 years ago. He has visited Austria on more than one occasion since then. Any sentence handed down by the Court will immediately be appealed to the European Court of Human Rights by Mr Irving's well-known and formidable lawyer Dr Elmar Kresbach.

Mr Irving sends New Year's best wishes to his readers and grateful thanks to his supporters for their good wishes and kind donations; both much needed.

Please note that the trial may run over to February 21st, 2006.
